Caribou BarbieSo, Caribou Barbie has finally left the building. She should do well on the Republican lecture circuit, where she can feed the wingnuts plenty of red meat, served with a liberal (please excuse the expression) helping of folksiness. She should do great, as long as she’s got a script. Good for her, I guess. For somebody whose career clearly should have peaked at being mayor of Wasilla, she’s certainly come a long way. I kinda doubt she’ll ever run for national office again, but you never know. If she does the work and realizes that you can’t just come up with some beauty pageant bullshit answers (only Dubya was able to get away with that), you never know.

But, if she was smart and hardworking enough for that, she’d probably have made it as a sportscaster and not had to fall back on public service. Hopefully the Palin Tour will make its way to a high school auditorium near you. If she comes to Syracuse, we can show her our Golden Snowballs.
